How do we truly build resilience? Not just to bounce back, but to grow, evolve, and thrive? In this episode of The Wisdom We Share, we’re joined by Rodger Ruge, certified resilience coach and lifelong martial artist, who brings over 30 years of wisdom to the table from his time in law enforcement, spiritual study, and coaching.

Rodger challenges the modern obsession with doing more and instead offers practices grounded in presence, breathwork, play, and simplicity. Whether you're navigating trauma, burnout, or just life’s everyday chaos, his perspective on “letting the mud settle” is a soul-level reminder to slow down, breathe, and choose practices that actually work for you.

In this episode, we explore:

• What real resilience means beyond buzzwords
• How trauma, stress and culture intersect in first responder communities
• Why martial arts are powerful tools for mental and emotional resilience
• The breath + mantra combo you can start today (in 3 minutes)
• The science-backed practice that can shift your nervous system
• The myth of strength vs. vulnerability, especially for men
• How to rewire your mindset through micro habits of joy and play
